| Subject: | Extracting bounce messages from the outbound queue |

I just realized that I've also got a second question about my
crashing .forward file program...
The program in question is currently invoked from the .forward
file of a specific account that receives a fair amount of inbound
mail. And it has been crashing several times a day for awhile now.
In some cases, the crashes are occuring when the account receives
inbound spam messages. In some subset of those cases, although Postfix
tried its best to end an undeliverable bounce message back to the
originating sender's domain, that domain isn't accepting any inbound
e-mail.
The result is that now, in my outbound mail queue on the machine in
question, I have numerous (perhaps 100-200) Postfix-generated bounce
messages that are going nowehere fast. Nested within these bounce
messages are copies of some eariler corresponding _inbound_ messages
that caused my .forward file program to crash. Those would be very
useful, I think, as "test input data", to help me to debug the problem
with my .forward file program.
So my question is just this: Given that I have several outbound
Postfix-gnerated bounce messages queued up (and going nowhere fast)
in my outbound queue, what is the best way to (a) extract copies of
one or more of those bounce messages from my outbound queue and then
also (b) extract copies of the _original_ _inbound_ messages from the
outbound bounce messages?
